IED blast rocks Darjeeling; GJM chief, two aides held

Anuj Sharma, Additional Director-General of Police (Law and Order), said: "We have convened a meeting with the D-G at Nabanna (state administration headquarters), and have chose to increase police patrolling in and around crowded places in Darjeeling". No one got injured as the place was empty at the time of the blast. We prima facie feel it was an IED blast and some special teams are coming in from Siliguri.

"We will never support any undemocratic means...we condemn the attempt at breaching peace in the Hills and request everyone not to be misled or scared", the statement said. The police have cordoned off the entire area. "The grenade was thrown by unidentified miscreants at the police station". Following this, police booked Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) chief Bimal Gurung and several others under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for their alleged involvement in the blast.

"It is either a case of gross incompetence on their part, or a case of fake blast planted by state agents to frame the GJM leadership", the GJM leader wrote.

Gurung in the letter also called for talks on the Gorkhaland issue. The blast is the handiwork of those who do not want Gorkhaland state to be formed. "This was a planned move aimed at bringing disrepute to the movement and the demand for Gorkhaland", Bimal Gurung said in a statement.
